Currently it does not have any different behavior than `*`
but it is now recommended to use `[*]` for unknown length
pointers to be future-proof.
Instead of [ * ] being separate tokens as the proposal
suggested, this commit implements `[*]` as a single token.
See #770

This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
* remove @cmpxchg, add @cmpxchgWeak and @cmpxchgStrong
- See explanations in the langref.
* add operand type as first parameter
* return type is ?T where T is the operand type

Changes:
- Removed superfluous "when possible"
- Fixed typo in "documentationt"
- Added missing comma
- Moved definition of error union type up to first sentence
* instead of `async(allocator) call()`, now it is
`async<allocator> call()`.
* Fixes syntax ambiguity when leaving off the allocator
* Fixes parse failure when call is a field access
This sets a precedent for using `<` to pass arguments
to a keyword. This will affect `enum`, `union`, and
`fn` (see #661)
- No overscrolling on small screens
- Font-size is reduced for more content per screen
- Tables + Code blocks scroll within a block to avoid page-widenening
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.

Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
* docgen supports obj_err code kind for demonstrating
errors without explicit test cases
* add documentation for `extern enum`. See #367
* remove coldcc keyword and add @setIsCold. See #661
* add compile errors for non-extern struct, enum, unions
in function signatures
* add .h file generation for extern struct, enum, unions
* error return tracing is disabled in release-fast mode
* add @errorReturnTrace
* zig build API changes build return type from `void` to `%void`
* allow `void`, `noreturn`, and `u8` from main. closes#535

regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
* @enumTagName renamed to @tagName and it works on enums and
union-enums
* Remove the EnumTag type. Now there is only enum and union,
and the tag type of a union is always an enum.
* unions support specifying the tag enum type, and they support
inferring an enum tag type.
* Enums no longer support field types but they do support
setting the tag values. Likewise union-enums when inferring
an enum tag type support setting the tag values.
* It is now an error for enums and unions to have 0 fields.
* switch statements support union-enums
closes#618
* rename decode to decodeExactUnsafe.
* add decodeExact, which checks for invalid chars and padding.
* add decodeWithIgnore, which also allows ignoring chars.
* alphabets are supplied to the decoders with their
char-to-index mapping already built, which enables it to be
done at comptime.
* all decode/encode apis except decodeWithIgnore require dest
to be the exactly correct length. This is calculated by a
calc function corresponding to each api. These apis no longer
return the dest parameter.
* for decodeWithIgnore, an exact size cannot be known a priori.
Instead, a calc function gives an upperbound, and a runtime
error is returned in case of overflow. decodeWithIgnore
returns the number of bytes written to dest.

I started working on #465 and made some corresponding std.io
API changes.
New structs:
* std.io.FileInStream
* std.io.FileOutStream
* std.io.BufferedOutStream
* std.io.BufferedInStream
Removed:
* std.io.File.in_stream
* std.io.File.out_stream
Now instead of &file.out_stream or &file.in_stream to get access to
the stream API for a file, you get it like this:
var file_in_stream = io.FileInStream.init(&file);
const in_stream = &file_in_stream.stream;
var file_out_stream = io.FileOutStream.init(&file);
const out_stream = &file_out_stream.stream;
This is evidence that we might not need any OOP features -
See #130.
